I am getting a Dell R710, just trying to work out the storage:
6x 300gb 10k 6gb/s SAS in RAID6
PVE installed on a single 60gb SSD (wish i could run it on SD card
, plugged in to motherboard, not RAID card, clone it off for backup.
This way I can use raw LVM backing on the RAID array, and wont have competition for the RAID card cache, and wont need to do any custom PVE install to re-do the LVM.
Snapshot backups to USB or freeNAS.
There will be ~20 users on Exchange + file server, and occasionally a Win7 or XP vm for testing purposes, might run a small linux VZ down the road for nagios or something like that.
